Introduction

The MC18 personal shopper solution is a smartphone-style, state-of-the-art mobile computer that transforms the shopping experience. As the next generation self-scanning solution, the MC18 enables retail shoppers to easily and conveniently scan items as they shop, saving time and avoiding the need to wait in lines at checkout. Retail shoppers can also receive discount coupons, as well as suggestions for complementary items

This software is intended to be loaded and run on the MC18N0 SKU devices. It is important that care be taken to match the device configuration with the appropriate Recovery update package. If an incorrect Recovery update package is loaded, the device will not boot.

On MC18L by default Zebra Volume Control feature will be disabled and only AOSP sound settings will be seen. ZVC can be enabled/disabled through CSP.

When device battery reaches 0% and it's kept in cradle, a message pops up in the device “Battery was removed before reboot happened “. User can ignore this message.

“Time Until full” displayed in lock screen and in battery management app do not match. User should refer to the lock screen for correct value.

Functional differences compared to KK:

In About device page when the user taps on battery information it navigates to "Battery Manager" page. For MC18L the battery information displayed in About Device Info will be the same as Battery Manger Application’s ‘Advanced info’.

Battery percentage Display option to show battery % in notification bar icon is not available in MC18 L, if a user drags down the status bar the percentage is seen.

Developer options will be disabled by default and user needs to manually enable Developer options feature by tapping on build number 7 times.

Wall paper is not visible in the lock screen mode.

After upgrading from KK to L, ‘backup and reset’ under settings option will remain grayed out. This is done to retain the legacy KK behavior. The option can be enabled via MDM or an EMDK application.
